New wheels on the s500

Car is nowhere near done, and haven't fully found the fitment I want yet, But the car is coming along , and just have a few more tiny mods to do until its finished.

Wheels are 20 inch giovanni, 8.5 front with 245/35/20 10.5 rear with 275/35/20 +40 offset on everything.

Let me know what you guys think

You do have a different angle of view.
I did think about dark powder paint for one set but still be cautious.

Thanks for sharing.

I think the Pictures don't do the wheels justice. Maybe try a different angle? Most deffinitely a sunnier day! I think taking better pics will make it look better. I like them because of the close up pic you can really see the wheel face.

What's not to like? Those tires are so sticky he was able to drive it on the ceiling!

Not too sure why everyone wants to come and crap on your thread, Bread.

If you don't like them you should keep it to yourself. I don't think it was Bread's intention to have everyone dump on his new rims. Dude probably spent good coin on the tires/rims and was just looking to show off. Everyone has their own tastes and some will like it and some won't. They look nice whatever your tastes. If you don't like them then don't get them for your own ride. If you do, then you have a good sampling of what they will look like on your ride thanks to Bread.

Don't listen to the naysayers, Bread. If you like 'em...

Thanks for the pics.

Hey Breads, welcome to the forum!!

I think you opened a can of worms asking what people think. Rims in general, and Black rims specifically are a very subjective thing many people dont like on most color cars, they look like a spare wheel rather than custom.... and I have to agree it is not flattering to your car in these pics.

But if It makes you happy, right on !!!!

Wow! Just wow!

Is there no end to how much crap can be thrown into one man's thread. For christsake people, it was a RHETORICAL statement..."Let me know what you guys think" does not mean "pile on your crap." Did you all REALLY think that he spent a few thousand dollars on Giovannis so he could post them up because he wanted a bunch of naysayers to call them "spare tires" and "don't like 'em, sorry man." Jeez, you guys show no mercy whatsoever. Can a brother get some slack up in here??

BTW...go ahead and start the flamefest. I can take it. But I think I found the answer to SFBIGBODY415's question about the w220 forum being so boring. Has anyone noticed that the OP has not been back? HMMMM...wonder why? Those who lack understanding and manners have already spoken and will certainly try to defend their callous statements. Still don't make it right.

Just trying to show the OP a LITTLE love...yes, REALLY!!

Keith

go cry into some pentosin.

1. I'm assuming he bought the wheels cause HE liked them, and at the end of the day, thats all that matters.

2. If he gets all upset because a bunch of people on the internet don't like his wheels, there may be some insecurity issues there.

3. Maybe it was rhetorical and maybe it wasn't. Unless you happen to be the OP, there is really no way to know. Maybe he was really curious what we thought.

4. If you're looking for the "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" mentality, the internet is not the place for you.

hahahahaa did not think wheels would turn into something funny like that. I will admit the pictures are a bit unflattering, the car is in the shop till next WED, going to be flaring the fenders to make it wider, and also will be doing a 20% all around to compliment the black wheels, and paint the logos, hood emblem black as well. So I"ll have better pictures that really show the wheels up by next week, and you guys can start hating each other then again. THX for all opinions no hard feelings about anything.

Light on Light

Reason for throwing it off he chart is because the vehicle is a light color therefore throwing a dark set of wheels throws the vehicle off, But as said what ever your taste is then so be it!
